Re: [amibroker] Method to Copy Russell files

Thanks d
I didn't find the key to change the mouse to text but I did use File/Save as Text...
Same thing?
If so , I still gotta go through getting rid of extra stuff like company names, headers, disclaimers, page numbers. This I've done in past by importing txt file to excel and manually cleaning up. Then since AB won't recogize an excel type file, right ? ,  I cut and past the tickers back to text file.
Now I can import.
Probably making the tuffer'n it is.

  The key is to change the mouse to the text select tool then you can use that to copy/paste out of the pdf.

    I'm trying to copy the various Russell files, in PDF format,  into AB. I've forgotten how I did it last year. I believe it needs to be changed to TXT file to import into AB. Can someone outline the steps.  PDF to Txt to Excel .  Clean  up tickers in Excel back to Txt then import to AB?

    I'm probably complicating this but my old brains cells seem a bit fuzzed up!

    Thanks
